Does anyone have recommendations for restaurants in Athens and Nafplio? Preferably the kind of places locals go, that aren't on the tourist radar. And we'd like to do one splurge dinner - what's a good gourmet restaurant in Athens with a creative chef? (Keeping in mind that some of my group are vegetarians.)
